This is a plug-in for your browser’s search box, usually found on your browsers navigation toolbar, and works in Firefox 2.0 and 3.0, as well as Internet Explorer 7. Use the plug-in to perform a keyword search of the Lumen library catalog. Search results will open in a new browser window or tab. Use the drop down menu for the browser search box to specify the search plug-in you want to use. From the drop down menu, use the Manage Search Engines (Firefox 2.0 or 3.0) or Change Search Defaults (IE7) to remove the plug-in if desired.

LibX is a browser plug-in for Firefox and Internet Explorer that provides direct access to the library’s resources. You can use the plug-in to search in Lumen, Prospector, Google Scholar, or the library’s e-journal portal (search options vary for each).

The plug-in will display below the Address bar in your browser once it is installed. You can search directly from the LibX toolbar or using the right-click context menu. It also places cues in web pages you visit if the library has resources related to that page.
